Volunteering
Volunteers are the heartbeat of the Forest Service. The types of work
a volunteer can perform are many and varied; the only tasks a volunteer
cannot carry out are those associated with law enforcement. Your talents
and skills are matched with your work preference to obtain a role that
satisfies you and best fulfills the mission of the Forest Service/USDA.
You may work on a part-time or full-time basis. You can participate in
a one-time project or serve over several months, seasons, or year-round.
The commitment you make is up to you. Training may be provided to you
if your job requires it. If you are retired or have summers free, you
may wish to live on a national forest while you work as a volunteer. College
students may perform volunteer service related to their coursework for
college credit. A variety of jobs are available if you prefer the office
environment. There are also numerous opportunities to perform vigorous
but satisfying physical labor
